New Local Search Engine Tested By Yahoo!

Search Engine Giant, Yahoo!, unveiled a test version of a local search engine that can give users phone numbers, maps, ratings and reviews for a range of services.

Yahoo's local search, which came available late Monday night Pacific Time, instructs users to search for a specific service, such as "restaurants or "dentists," along with a location, and then returns results like business name, address and phone number, as reported in wire services.
